Sentinel Campground offers a beautiful setting with spacious, shaded sites and proximity to the river, making it ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Many visitors appreciate the serene atmosphere and the campground's access to nearby amenities, such as the store and ranger programs. However, the facilities, particularly the restrooms, are in disrepair and require maintenance, which detracts from the overall experience.

Sentinel is beautiful, surrounded by breathtaking cliffs, and a stream on one side of the campground. There's also a stunning, lush meadow in the middle. We hiked around the trails, drove to Road's End, and stopped at Roaring River Falls (recommend!)

Great campground with lovely sound of the roaring Kings River. Clean bathrooms. Close access to trails at Road's End. Shaded sites.

I rate it and F. The bathrooms are deplorable. There is no running water in the sink facuets (if it had a sink at all) and a lot of the toilets are out of order. I did not see one cleaning crew the four days we were there. I only saw the ranger two times and both were during the day. No Ranger was seen at night when we had bears incidents. Also there were barracaded areas were you could not go due to a sink hole caused by a fallen tree.

The campground site was massive. Possibly the largest campsite I’ve ever stayed in. Lots of room for activities. The bathrooms could use some renovations. There were no lights in the bathroom and didn’t seem to have been cleaned in quite some time. The bathroom wasn’t an issue because I brought my own toilet and faucet. Also, lots of wildlife in and around the campground. Was lovely to see.

we arrived late but were able to get settled in quickly. there were 4 toilet stalls but by morning only 1 was accessible/usable (doors were either locked or wedged shut) which caused a line to form for the remaining stall - which quickly ran out of tp. Maintenance did get it all sorted pretty quick, but with all the campers waking at the same time it was rough going for a bit.
Would 100% come back though!

Great location, not far from the river. Shady campsite most of the day. Near Visitor Center, amphitheater, water spigot, & bathroom. Friendly rangers.

Great campground with good space between sites. Bear box at each site. Heard the river during the night - a very peaceful sound. Very dark - need a flashlight if you venture out during the night.
Highly recommend!!!
